Needed Redirections in Economic Analysis for Agricultural Development Policy

Abstract

Abstract Economic literature identifies development with average rates of increase in real output per capita. Little research has focused on interrelations between productivity increases and other indicators of development such as the reduction of mass poverty, unemployment, and inequality. Such omissions may be a function of the way agricultural economics developed in the United States. Here a positive correlation between increased production, employment, and income‐earning opportunities was assumed inherent in the family farm system and the relative labor‐scarce conditions. Problems emerging in recent years throw considerable doubt on the appropriateness of these assumptions.
